This.... what? Wasn't there some celebrity that got mad some place had a diet option for stuff and went full Karen trying to get it shut down?

Been dating 6 months.

It's obvious to anyone who knows me I'm NOT a girly girl. I never have been. I'm jeans, t-shirts, short hair, no or very minimal makeup. Don't own a dress.

Idk if I'm non binary or what and I don't especially want to analyze the labels. I have a female body and identify as female. I just don't care about being feminine. I'm me. Whatever that is. And I'm true to myself and happy with that.

My BF finds that refreshing about me.

I rent half a house, I have 2 rooms and my own bathroom. My landlady is a bit weird. I didn't know this when I moved in, she put no restrictions in place, but turns out she's uncomfortable with people staying over. She's also home A LOT. So, this is the first chance he's had to stay over at my place since she's out of state visiting family. (FWIW I'm definitely moving at the end of my lease.)

When I've stayed over at his I just use whatever is in his shower and just bring a change of clothes.

Weeeeellllll me being me, I don't like flowery, perfumey scents. My shampoo is "women's" and so is my deodorant, but I do have some "men's" body wash and lotion. He found these in my bathroom.

Look, I know how it looks. But they are absolutely 100% mine. I just like the scents. If I were cheating or he was the side piece, wouldn't I have enough sense to get the other dude's poo poo out of my shower? There are no other "men's" items in my place. No electric razors, clearly male clothing, nothing a man would use every day. I have told him I didn't hide the bath products because there's nothing to hide. They're MINE and it's soap and lotion and here, smell..... haven't you noticed me wearing this scent? Haven't you noticed me NOT smelling like I rolled in a 90 yr old womans garden? Lol.

He won't believe me.

Idk if there's any other women out there like me, but I really didn't think it would be THIS big a deal. Maybe it's a little odd and I guess I can understand if he doesn't want to date a woman who washes with Irish Spring, that's fair. But I am absolutely not cheating and idk what to do. I'm also not trans, wanting to transition, nothing like that. I'm just an unconventional lady who likes the smell of men's grooming products and uses them.

tl;dr I'm a tomboy who uses some men's hygiene products. My BF found them and thinks I'm cheating. Help!

AITA for having flavored sparking water at my teenage daughter's birthday party? Another mom accused me of trying to give her daughter an eating disorder.

LaCroix is delicious, things can be refreshing without being sugar water you ridiculous hummingbirds.

So, about a year ago my friend [27F] moved in with me. She doesn't pay rent, but does contribute to utilities and buys her own food with the money she earns as a freelance artist.

She told me about a week ago that she was going to try doing an OnlyFans account, and that she'd been thinking about it since she dumped her boyfriend a few months back. I said I wasn't comfortable with that because I don't think she'll be safe, and before I could explain she stormed off calling me controlling and has done her best to avoid me since.

I don't really care about the OnlyFans/sex work part, she's an adult and it's her body. But she's... well, really f-ing stupid when it comes to internet safety. She's not so bad that she'd pop up and say "Hi guys! I'm Jane Smith and I live at 1 Random Street, Random, my postcode is AB1 1AB, and it's just me and my friend living here!" but I guarantee she would talk about things like how she loves living in Random because there's a park she goes to regularly, or that she's a fan of the bright pink painted house next door that's super unique, or that she never misses Toastie Tuesdays at a local cafe and always goes around 1pm (really fake examples).

As a freelance artist the risk of someone stalking her is, in my opinion, way lower than if she has an OnlyFans. Plus, and I know it's selfish, she'd be putting me at risk too. I've had a few dodged bullets so I care about things like this, but she's had nothing so she just assumes she'll always be okay.

But, her body, her income, and it's a job she kind of needs to afford to move out if she wants to as she isn't earning a lot right now.

AITA for not being on board? I can't physically stop her, after all.

Quick edit: please don't copy this anywhere else.

unsweetened sparkling water is fine on its own, the tang of carbonic acid gives it a refreshing crispness. adding flavors of things that are supposed to be sweet to an inherently bitter drink just tastes like a mess of rear end though

grapefruit lacroix is ok at least, since it's no more bitter than an actual grapefruit

Serephina posted:

So basically this is the exact same story from a week ago -where the consensus was "They're being weird about it, but I guess personal safety is a thing?"- rehashed as to be explicitly about locational safety and see how everyone opinions change?

It's like someone with far too much time on their hand doing primitive and clumsy sociology experiments.

LaCroix is absolute trash seltzer or sparkling water, as it fails at both.

This is a POLAR SELTZER safe zone

I am a computer person and once i was in an interview where the interviewer was wearing socks and sandals, but not only that, his socks were the white hanes socks that have a gray toe and a gray heel and he very clearly had them on backwards, like the grey part that is supposed to be the heel was on top of his instep.

That’s not even my worst computer job interview anecdote, it’s just the worst one about personal hygiene and/or dressing yourself.

Something about how I walk, my socks turn around by the end of the day. Particularly if I'm not wearing shoes.

Same here. Mostly when I wear thicker, fluffy socks, I find.
Also I wear socks with sandals because I'm English, and that's part of our national dress.

I’m a huge Dragon Ball fan and as a short, egotistical, angry man Vegeta resonates with me deeply lol. So I got a tattoo of him in monkey mode recently. All my tattoos are anime references, got a JoJo one a Yu Yu Hakusho one a One Piece tattoo. I’m a huge weeb to my gf’s disappointment apparently. So my gf’s boss was hosting a barbecue at her place for all the employees. We were allowed to dress casual but my gf wanted me to wear a long sleeve to cover up my tattoos. I was like no loving way it’s gonna be hot as gently caress. She begged me to wear one if I wanted to come because she didn’t want her boss to judge her and she thought my heavily tattooed arms would be inappropriate for a work place get together where things aren’t supposed to be that casual. I agree because I don’t want to be bored at home and miss some good barbecue food. But I pack a shirt in the car for afterwards to put on once I leave. It’s a sleeveless because I only planned on wearing it afterwards.

So we get there and everyone is dressed casually but appropriately for a work party. You know polos, short sleeved dress shirts, dark jeans chinos work pants nice shoes. All summer clothing. I’m hot as gently caress in my sweater and they had these spicy wings that I couldn’t stop eating so I was sweating and uncomfortable hot. And my new Vegeta tat was itching with the sweater on. I make some small talk with her coworkers but I’m uncomfortable. So I say gently caress it. I go to my car and change into my sleeveless. Put in more deodorant and head back. My gf sees me and her eyes pop out. She makes her way towards me but some of her coworkers are already talking to me about my tats. Asking what they mean so I explain to them I’m a huge anime/manga fan and that all my tats are about the different series that I love. I can see that some of her coworkers are looking at me strangely because I guess I do stand out a bit now. So later on we leave and my gf let’s me hear it. Gets on my case for embarrassing her. Says it wa embarrassing to have her bf be so inappropriately dressed while he talks about his anime tattoos. Says her boss was giving us the side eye and made some snide comments to her. I told her it was to hot to wear the long sleeve the whole time but my gf was mad I”broke our promise.” We argue about our stance on the matter for the whole ride and just try to forget about it afterwards but I can tell she is still upset. AITA for changing shirts or is my gf the rear end in a top hat for getting mad at me over this?
